Being apart of the 123 Grow family for 8 years, I feel privileged to be able to provide an honest testimonial. We have used this daycare for 8 years since our children were 3 months old. We could not be happier with our experience. The director and staff have been incredibly consistent, caring, and dependable throughout that entire time. There is a real sense of stability in the program, and it shows in how well everything is run day to day. Most importantly, I always feel confident that my children were / are safe and well cared for when they are there. I never have to worry when I drop them off, which is something every parent hopes for but doesn’t always find. We are truly grateful for the peace of mind and the loving environment they provided to us over these fast 8 years. 123 Grow is family to us.

“We are so thrilled that our son attends 123 Grow in Barre. His teachers — Tiffany, Jordan, and Liz — are truly incredible. They love him like he’s their own, and they take the time to understand his unique needs, working with him patiently every single day. We’re so grateful for the small classroom sizes, which mean he gets the one-on-one attention he deserves. Every day, he shows up happy and excited, and that joy says everything about how loved and cared for he feels at 123 Grow. We couldn’t ask for a better place for him to grow!”

123 Grow Gardner has been a Godsend for our family. We actually were on the waiting list with this location before we enrolled our son in the previous 2 daycares. And finally we were lucky enough for them to have an opening so we could enroll our 3 year old son at the time at this location. We had horrible luck with our previous two daycares and were not fans of the Directors. But when we met Kim Dubrule on the first day when visiting the center, we were very impressed. We felt the warmth and had a great feeling about the place. Third time's a charm, right? And we didn't strike out! Miss Lauren and Miss Kayleigh are so wonderful. In fact, the whole staff there is wonderful. They are welcoming and so helpful. The communication is great there. My son, Preston, who is 5 now has made great friends there and loves his teachers. The curriculum is amazing. Preston would come home with all these different art projects and talk about what he did that day and what he learned. He never really wanted to go to the other daycares but this one, he was always so excited about going there. And that right there was a great sign of what that center does there with the kids. I highly recommend parents to bring their kids there. You will not be sorry. You will leave there being grateful that you made a good decision trusting your child or children with the teachers there. The growth in Preston has been amazing. He's come a long way. This September he'll be entering kindergarten in Westminster and I know he'll bring the knowledge and skills he's learned there to his new classroom. He already told me he's going to miss everyone there. He was so sad to hear that he can't bring everyone in his classroom to Kindergarten. So grateful to Kim, Miss Lauren, Miss Kayleigh and the rest of the staff there. Thank you for your dedication to the kids and to the parents. Amy and I appreciate you all.

As a parent, choosing the right childcare center was one of the most important decisions for our family, and 123 Grow - Worcester has exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we enrolled our daughter, the staff made us feel welcomed, supported, and confident that our child was in great hands. The teachers genuinely care about not only my daughter, but each child's growth and development, create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, loved, and encouraged to learn. We've seen tremendous growth in our daughter's social skills, fine motor skills and gross motor skills. Communication with families is excellent, and it's clear that the staff goes above and beyond to ensure every child receives individualized attention. Knowing that our daughter is happy, engaged, and cared for each day gives my wife and I complete peace of mind and gratitude. We are so grateful to be part of the 123 Grow Worcester family

Since Luca started, we’ve seen such a meaningful difference in his development, especially in his social skills, confidence, and communication. It’s been incredible to watch him grow more comfortable around other children and build those early friendships. One moment that really stood out to us was during a period when we were closely monitoring Luca’s speech development. His teachers went above and beyond to thoughtfully observe and document the words, sounds, and sign language he was using throughout the day. Their level of attentiveness and care not only gave us valuable insight, but also provided us with reassurance and confidence as parents. What meant the most was how invested they were in Luca as an individual. It never felt transactional—they genuinely cared about supporting him and advocating for his progress, and that meant everything to our family. We’ve also been incredibly impressed with the communication and the intention behind the daily activities and curriculum. You can truly see how much thought goes into supporting each child’s development in a way that is both engaging and meaningful. As first-time parents, trusting someone else with your child is a big step, and 123 Grow has made that experience feel not only comfortable, but genuinely positive. We are so grateful to be part of this community and for the role everyone has played in Luca’s growth - especially Shalimar & Ariana!
